"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

So what? Did you listen to those samples and found ANYTHING that was more than tired rehash of older stuff? There sure wasn't anything rivalling the joker music from the last film.

Ah, now I remember the Joker music was great in the film.
The chant and the anvil in the trailers was exciting. I wonder if that will be to Bane what the different Joker motifs were to the Joker.
There's nothing cool like that in the samples though.

Then why keep listening? I hate Tyler Bates, but I don't go around listening to every one of his new scores exclaiming how terrible I think it is. This isn't even the score on album or in film, but samples. A mere 7 minutes of out of context music.Now now do you really expect people at JWFan wouldn't throw a few jokes about Zimmer when his new score comes out. As incredible as it sounds some people are not just that into Zimmer around here and if the sound clips indicate pretty clearly that it is the same style of music (not surprising or unexpected) as he has delivered for the previous two installments of this Batman series, then it can be expected that some of us are not exactly jumping with anticipation.

If by some miracle old Hans succeeds converting me to his sound with the rest of the material in the film and on the soundtrack album then I am honestly amazed and impressed.
No one here is qualified to make that statement.

Man John Williams is using Hedwig's theme again in that sample for Prisoner Of Azkaban, what a tired old hack who rehashes older material from a FRANCHISE.

No you're getting me wrong here. I like Zimmer sometimes. That's why I keep listening to it. I've defended his work on Batman sometimes, even if it's not like I would prefer it to be. I just find these samples boring, and I'm afraid the rest the score could be more or less like this. Why? Lack of enthusiasm?

Really, has any score, any, especially a Zimmer score, ever radically changed its level of appeal in full form as opposed to 30 second samples?The full Dark Knight sessions are a waste of time.Come on, are you guys really that irritated over hearing 7 1/2 minutes of music...from a 52 minute score album? :l

Because someone may not like John Williams' style in Episodes I, II, or III, but they may like the work he did on the later episodes.

Taking the music for what it is so far, "Mind If I Cut In" and "The Fire Rises" seem to be standouts so far. I also like some of the electronic colors he's using, particularly the distant, airy treatment of the minor third motive in "On Thin Ice." Also, just got to "Fear Will Find You," and it's nice to hear some trumpet action in there.
#103
Posted 25 June 2012 - 11:01 PM
I think the commercial release might favour the more atmpsheric and synthy/ritmic parts of the score over more stuff like Mind if I cut In? that might as well be perfectly present on the score.

I find it a bit absurd that the 30-second sample covers the entirety of "Death By Exile" with room to spare. Why have a track that's so short?

I find most of Dead Man's Chest rather rubbish, but I really enjoy At World's End - there was a huge stylistic difference between those two scores.

omg, if noise has a name it must be Hanz Zimmer.
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

"Let me say, however, there is no "next" John Williams. Sadly, he is unique--- a figure who simultaneously embodies and transcends the music of all the masters of film music who preceded him (much like Brahms and Wagner of the Romantic era). He comes from a time when the craft of music in film was still one of the ear, heart and mind. Today, sadly, the craft is largely technical. Most composers do not conceive their music "inwardly" but rather at the computer--- and with rather limited skills, musically, at that. The inner spirit knows no boundaries--- our plastic abilities, sadly, do. John is a man of spirit, heart, intellect and soaring music." -- Conrad Pope about John Williams

That said, it gets good whenever Hans does something new, like the acoustic cello and mischievous piano in "May I Cut in?" and obviously the choral chanting for Bane. But... sadly, it's just Zimmer on autopilot for the most part. Seriously, Nolan, this is why some film music fans hate Zimmer -- because people like you chain him down and have him re-arrange his older material.

He actually develops this material. Which didn't happen much with the previous one.
So, there's only one logical explanation: it was James Newton Howard chaining him down and have himre-arrange his older material in TDK.
